Catharine, host of Catharine Stitches, returns after a month away with a July stitching update. She introduces herself for new subscribers, explaining she is from Northern Ireland, has been stitching for three years, and now prefers 32 count fabric stitched one over one tent. She also discusses a recent craft room reorganisation and a destash of project bags and other items.

The main focus is a detailed update on 17 projects worked on during July, including five new starts and one restart. New starts include Wednesday Mandala by Atomic Tiki Pins, Wednesday SAL by Forbidden Fibre Co., Rose Trellis Inn, Cat Nap, and Cat Race, all charted by Heaven and Earth Designs, plus Battle, also by HAED.
